Pogba's future has been one of the hottest topics of discussion in recent transfer windows, but the Frenchman's desire to leave Old Trafford lessened following Jose Mourinho's departure in December.

However, a run of six defeats in eight matches has seen United eliminated from the Champions League and fall behind in the top-four race, with Pogba among the players criticised for his performances during that slump.

Madrid are understood to have held a long-standing interest in the World Cup winner, and Telefoot reports that they are in the advanced stages of bringing the France international to the Bernabeu as part of a major summer overhaul.

Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with Pogba too, but Madrid are leading the race and plan to make a £130m offer in an attempt to convince United to sell.

The 26-year-old last month fuelled speculation that he could join Los Blancos by describing Madrid as a "dream club".
